As one of my top ladylike style icons, Kate Middleton (aka the Duchess of Cambridge) consistently pulls off polished, pulled-together looks fit for a modern royal. Kate relies on a rotation of Issa London dresses (the brand designed that iconic blue engagement photo dress from 2010 - see below for the replica), from post-baby-friendly wraps to ladylike A-lines fit for afternoon tea with the Queen. Well, ladies in waiting, I'm happy to announce that pond hops are no longer required to add a little Issa to your wardrobe!

Banana Republic and Issa London just announced details about the new limited-edition Banana Republic Issa London Collection, with pieces meant to transition from day to night and summer to fall.  The nearly 40-piece collection includes apparel and accessories in Issa London’s signature figure flattering silhouettes, with hits of exotic zebra and leopard prints and flattering jewel toned hues, perfect for dialing up a stagnant work wardrobe. Jewelry includes statement gold chain necklaces and bracelets as well as leather wrapped bangles and gorgeous leather envelope clutches that I can't wait to get my hands on. The collection includes petites and will range in price from $50 - $185.  

The capsule collection launches exclusively at select Banana Republic retail locations worldwide and online August 8, 2013. Royal parade waves and delicate hand claps all around!

P.S - Speaking of Kate, would she please have that baby already?! xx

Issa Teams Up with Banana Republic

The Duchess of Cambridge (the princess formerly known as Kate Middleton) always inspires us with her flawless, ladylike style, perfectly fit for a modern royal. With her wedding anniversary looming and a royal wee one on the way, Kate relies on her favourite designers to keep her looking chic, including her much-beloved brand, Issa. Pretty soon you (and I) can look royally turned out thanks to the Banana Republic Issa London Collection, Issa's first collab with a global retailer.

The nearly 40-piece collection will embody the spirit of an exotic journey - including apparel and accessories in Issa London’s signature figure flattering silhouettes that are bold, yet tastefully refined, much like Kate. Expect exotic animal prints infused with neutral and jewel-tone hues, plus covetable accessories, from rich pebbled leather envelope clutches to gold chain necklaces and bracelets. The line will include petites and will range from a very reasonable $39.50 - $150. 

Mark your calendars: The capsule collection launches exclusively at select Banana Republic retail locations worldwide and online August 6, 2013. Be sure to follow @BRStyleCA @IssaLondon #BRIssa on Twitter for updates. How exciting is this?! xx
